1930's Leedy Reliance kit.
Specs:
26"x12" bass, 14"x5" Brass snare, snare stand, 13" china cymbal, 10" cymbal, Leedy bass pedal with attachment to hit a cymbal, Chinese tom holder (no tom), external bass muffler, 1 bass spur and some other parts. I also have brushes and sticks which are also vintage that I got with the kit. Pretty much all of the hardware is stamped Leedy.
How'd you get them?
They look gorgeous, how do they sound?

I found them locally online.
The snare sounds fantastic. The bass has nice open tone to it, especially considering the calfskin heads are likely original LoLoLoLo
I wasn't sure what to expect with the old heads, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The cymbals aren't what I am used to, but I'm sure they would have been fine back in the day for how they were used and for effects. I did not clean them up other than to run some water over and dry them with a paper towel. The towel turned green :)
Have to love all the hoop mounted gear and the cymbal "dinger" on the bass pedal.
That's a gorgeous set; the snare looks absolutely stunning!
